  1. 1/5Not recommended, doesn’t have filters for cities

    I typically don't write reviews, but I hope sharing my experience can be of help to someone just like I find other reviews to be helpful . After creating an account and going through the initial steps, I immediately noticed that the app bombarded me with numerous ads for various locations. Unfortunately, there was no feature to filter by city or distance, leading to a clutter of irrelevant ads from all over the place. As I explored the app further, I realized that to access my messages, I had to make a payment, which left me quite frustrated. However, since I was genuinely in search of a room, I decided to give it a chance. It was NOT worth it! I encountered a flood of people spamming their listings, which didn't even align with my requirements, making it a complete waste of time despite having created a comprehensive profile. In summary, this app lacks essential filters, is plagued by spammy listings from landlords , it’s a WASTE of time and money, and tends to have higher prices. In the end, I returned to Facebook Marketplace, where I found what I was looking for. I won't be downloading this app again, and I can’t recommend it; I'd suggest continuing your search on Facebook Marketplace or seeking assistance from a realtor.

  2. 1/5Not worth it

    Trash app. I signed up for it when I was needing a roommate and saw that I had to pay for it. So didn’t pay and kept getting emails that people were sending me messages. Decided to pay for a week to see these messages people were sending me. No one was sending me messages, it was just the app trying to get me to pay. I forgot to cancel before the week subscription was up and canceled less than 24 hours after money was taken out of my account. Which instead of charging me for another week they charged me even more money for an entire month plan??? Contacted customer support to see if I could get refunded since I canceled less than 24 hours after being charged and they charged me the month fee(which wasn’t approved) instead of a week fee. Human on other end of computer just copy pasted policy info and wasn’t helpful or understanding at all. Don’t waste your time or money on this app. - in response to developer: no one was sending me messages. You guys kept sending me emails as if someone was messaging me but all it was was people singing up in the area not physically someone reaching out to me- which is how your emails are sent. I’d update this because it’s very scammy to get people to sign up when if fact people aren’t actually messaging.

  3. 1/5DONT PURCHASE SUBSCRIPTION!!

    PLEASE READ THIS AND SAVE YOUR MONEY!! I purchased the monthly subscription for $30 (because you can only open messages with the subscription). It’s expensive but I figured that it would be a worthy investment if it helped me sublet my apartment. That being said, so many of the post are OBVIOUSLY fake (not all but the large majority). You can tell the difference because real post have details and a few pictures. Fake ones all follow the SAME EXACT outline: “Hi, my name is ____. I’m a professional. Im looking for a room to rent. My budget is ___.” On the other hand, if you look on Facebook REAL people’s post are vastly different because they actually state what they’re looking for in a room or roommate and provide more details. In addition to all the fake posts, which in the first week I wasted too much time replying to (and never got any replies) if you do reply to a real post the other person can’t see you message if they’re on the free version. Therefore, you can’t effectively communicate with people. I understand that the app needs to have a revenue but it’s not being monetized effectively. Also, the app itself has many glitches. I usually never write reviews but I’m very upset that I spent $30 on a monthly subscription to an utterly useless app.

  4. 3/5Lots of glitches, needs improvement

    I really like the idea of this app and most everything about it. I even found a roommate on it! My rating is solely about the usability. The app won’t let me upload photos of my apartment from my photo library, it will just glitch every time I select a photo and hit “done”, but it will let me take photos in the moment and upload those. Whenever I try to update my profile to reflect my roommate’s and my ages, it deletes the numbers, so it’ll appear as “I’m years old and my roommate is years old” I know there’s an area where you set your ‘household age’ but it would be helpful to be able to put it in your listing description too. It also only gives you the option to say that your property is available the day that you make the listing, so even if you list a month or two in advance, you can’t change it to say when it’s actually available, leading to messages from people who didn’t read the whole description. It also frequently freezes and is completely unusable until you exit the app and restart it. It would also be helpful to have an option where your listing is only visible to female or male users, because I do not want to have a man live with me, but I keep getting messages from ones who didn’t read my listing description. I will likely use this app again, but as a last resort when it comes to finding a roommate. Too many glitches.

  5. 1/5Useless money trap

    You can post an ad for free, but you can’t read any answers for free. You can send messages for free, but if you haven’t paid you can’t read a reply. This means, even if you pay so that you can read responses to those ads, unless the other person also paid, this ends up being a black hole where they can’t read your responses. You can’t see who sent mail until you pay, so you can’t determine if these are responses to a message you sent (and therefore know they’ve paid and a conversation is actually possible). There are lots of work around dating websites use to solve the problem of communication between free and premium accounts. If the coders want this to be less of a cheapo money grab, they should look into those kinds of mechanisms (eg. if a free account writes and premium account and a premium account holder replies, those replies are unlocked for the free user; and therefore the service you are paying for is effective communication). Either or both sides can end up paying, but it would at least mean people choosing to pay will have gotten a functioning service. It seems like their current funding model is screw people out of their first subscription fee, and then that person learns this site is garbage and moves on.
